...might bring down other Republicans on the ballot. G.O.P. bigwigs point to a Quinnipiac University poll released last week that showed Democratic incumbent Bill Nelson leading Harris 50% to 38%.

Now he could no longer trust himself in that regard...

I never understood what they were singing about (the pain of being unable to get the love of a girl or how much it hurt to lose her), and the boy band disappeared before I could figure it all out.
